    I love the mystery of seeing what sushi comes floating around this small sushi boat bar. You never know what's coming next, but nearly all of it is very fresh and totally delicious. WinstonWanders.com

    Tips do not lie - spicy white tuna, house special (a lot of avocado!) and tuna in general are the best!! Staff is friendly and attentive) Better come here before 6 pm.. before everyone does. :)

    Free green tea when you arrive, sit by the sushi boats and pick up the sushi plates. Absolutely incredible! Try the hot avocado & prawn tempura rolls!

    The special roll with spicy tuna and taro chips is not to be missed. Also the spider roll. Don't be shy - ask one of the chefs to make them.

    Get everything on the board with special rolls and come here during the peak hrs not when they are about to close. Order something special from the chefs.

    Live scallop, tuna tataki, spicy octopus, and their oysters are my favorites. The octopus is like nowhere else in the city.

    The best Sushi Boat restaurant in SF! Take your time as the chefs will change up their offerings over the course of the night! I recommend splitting one boat at a time.

    Order the special fresh scallop and ika! The tuna don and salmon don are humongous and tasty! Lub this place! Even the California roll is super good!

    Eat sushi, Ramen is pretty disappointing. I had the Cha Chu ramen, pretty meh broth, pork like a piece of cardboard, not even a wrongly boiled egg,it really broke my heart. 😞

    Go on Wednesdays, when they open after being closed for Monday and Tuesday to enjoy the best selection of fresh fish!

    Great place to eat as a solo diner. Almost never have to wait either since there's usually an odd seat out somewhere.

    Stuff yourself with the help of sushi boats. Eat here on Friday or Saturday night to make sure it's always freshly replenished.

    Worst service I've experienced in a long time for food that really wasn't worth the wait, especially when my order was given to the table next door. And no one in charge to talk to about it.
